     * Base class that provides a common interface for publishing events. Subclasses are expected to to have a property
     * "events" with all the events defined, and, optionally, a property "listeners" with configured listeners defined.
     *
     * For example:
     *
     *     Ext.define('Employee', {
     *         mixins: {
     *             observable: 'Ext.util.Observable'
     *         },
     *
     *         constructor: function (config) {
     *             // The Observable constructor copies all of the properties of `config` on
     *             // to `this` using {@link Ext#apply}. Further, the `listeners` property is
     *             // processed to add listeners.
     *             //
     *             this.mixins.observable.constructor.call(this, config);
     *
     *             this.addEvents(
     *                 'fired',
     *                 'quit'
     *             );
     *         }
     *     });
     *
     * This could then be used like this:
     *
     *     var newEmployee = new Employee({
     *         name: employeeName,
     *         listeners: {
     *             quit: function() {
     *                 // By default, "this" will be the object that fired the event.
     *                 alert(this.name + " has quit!");

         *
         * *Names* of methods in a specified scope may also be used. Note that
         * `scope` MUST be specified to use this option:
         *
         *     myGridPanel.on({
         *         cellClick: {fn: 'onCellClick', scope: this, single: true},
         *         mouseover: {fn: 'onMouseOver', scope: panel}
         *     });
         *
         * @param {String/Object} eventName The name of the event to listen for.
         * May also be an object who's property names are event names.
         *
         * @param {Function} [fn] The method the event invokes, or *if `scope` is specified, the *name* of the method within
         * the specified `scope`.  Will be called with arguments
         * given to {@link #fireEvent} plus the `options` parameter described below.
         *
         * @param {Object} [scope] The scope (`this` reference) in which the handler function is
         * executed. **If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.**
         *
         * @param {Object} [options] An object containing handler configuration.
         *
         * **Note:** Unlike in ExtJS 3.x, the options object will also be passed as the last
         * argument to every event handler.
         *
         * This object may contain any of the following properties:
         *
         * @param {Object} options.scope
         *   The scope (`this` reference) in which the handler function is executed. **If omitted,
         *   defaults to the object which fired the event.**
         *
         * @param {Number} options.delay
         *   The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
         *
         * @param {Boolean} options.single
         *   True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
         *
         * @param {Number} options.buffer
         *   Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an {@link Ext.util.DelayedTask} delayed
         *   by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time,
         *   the original handler is _not_ invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
         *
         * @param {Ext.util.Observable} options.target
         *   Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, _not_ if the event
         *   was bubbled up from a child Observable.
         *
         * @param {String} options.element
         *   **This option is only valid for listeners bound to {@link Ext.Component Components}.**
         *   The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.
         *
         *   This option is useful during Component construction to add DOM event listeners to elements of
         *   {@link Ext.Component Components} which will exist only after the Component is rendered.
         *   For example, to add a click listener to a Panel's body:
         *
         *       new Ext.panel.Panel({
         *           title: 'The title',
         *           listeners: {
         *               click: this.handlePanelClick,
         *               element: 'body'
         *           }
         *       });
         *
         * **Combining Options**
         *
         * Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
         *
         * A delayed, one-time listener.
         *
         *     myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
         *         single: true,
         *         delay: 100
         *     });
         *
